Re: Being productive with ADD/ADHD/high-functioning autism
Excuse my previous response, it sounded like you were being very dismissive of a very real and sometimes very disruptive mental abnormality (I don't like to call it a disorder, that implies it's all bad). I don't smoke, but I do forget that I have food in the microwave, whether I locked the car, or whether I put away all… -
Re: I need portfolio help for college admission.
Yeah, a college portfolio is quite different to professional one. I just put together a portfolio for industrial design and wound up stripping about three quarters of the regular content from my portfolio in favour of variety, with things like physical sculpture and costume armour. Keep it broad. In addition to what… -
Re: day to day real world work
Outsourcing is done quite a lot, yep for cost savings. It makes sense to do this for parts that can be done in bulk and already have an established style: spell icons, environment props, secondary characters, etc. Reuse in my experience has mostly been done in the prototyping stage, when you're implementing a new feature… -
Re: [WIP] [UE4] Runeblade - Bachelor's Capstone Project - Advice and Critique Appreciated
In the past week since I first posted on the forums, our group has made huge progress towards Runeblade. Huge thanks to Romain Durand (https://polycount.com/profile/discussions/RDurand) for helping us overhaul our lighting system entirely. We've also finished up 99% of the props and item models and textures now. Procedural… -
Re: few technical questions abot drow
1. You don't have to decompile the smd file if you have the maya scene file. People just do it because the smds are the most up to date. In this case I believe Drow's cape bones are still incorrectly named. 2. What about it do you want to know? You just rig it up to the provided cape bones and export it. What version of… -
Re: Paris Building
Looking good. The only two things with the geometry that catch my eye at the moment are that those semi-circle pieces coming out of the angled roof aren't scaled the same as in the concept and the top 3 thin concrete layers are all the same size in the concept where as in yours only the top 2 look the same. As for the… -
Re: Working on Hand painted textures
Great execution of teh concept! Really nice concept design. Is it yours? One thing that would help take the texture to the next level would be to unify the lighting. That should makes all the little parts of the item feel apart of the whole and give all its forms more depth. The fun part is trying to decide which way it… -
Re: Stick
That is looking HOT! (in more ways than one, love the illustration) I'm thinking for my future efforts attempting button layouts first on cardboard or some other disposable medium might be a good idea. It's a lot more important than some people might think, especially if you intend to get some solid use out of your stick.… -
Re: My first low poly model
Maya unwrapping tools are a nightmare, in my opinion. Go and bind some keyboard shortcuts to the menu items "Selection->Convert Selection to UVs" in the UV Texture Editor, because you'll be doing that quite a bit. I just can't seem to get used to the whole "mouse gestures" thing. You'll also be using "Polygons->Split UV"… -
Re: A25-R Sniper
I have to agree with Shrike and others- the concept here is rather weak. Even if you wanted to keep the original silhouette, you have a lot of leeway in where and how you add details. Remember your art fundamentals- even complex items need some rest areas. Balance out those high density areas with some larger panels to…
